After 40 days of Lent, Christians around the world celebrated the solemn feast of Easter.

The greatest act of sacrifice someone can do for another is this: No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends — John 15:13.

Actually Jesus paid a debt he didn’t owe, because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay. Let us take time to thank Jesus for his ultimate sacrifice.

I heard a powerful homily on Good Friday about the fact that we all carry crosses and we are all called to reach out and help each other. In a book by Father Henri Nouwen titled, “The Wounded Healer,” he states, “Our own woundedness can serve as a source of strength and healing to help others.” By reaching out we can bring the light of Christ into a hurting world.
